TTax is looking for my employers name on the state return. I was not employed (retired) so I don't have an employer name. Please advise.

Did you receive a 1099-R for your retirement in 2019? If so, who did you receive your retirement income from?

You may want to check your entries in TurboTax to make sure that you are not showing an W-2 that is triggering this question. Here's how:

While in your Tax Home,
Select Wages & Income,
Select Review/Edit,
Select Edit/Add next to Job (W-2),
You should have nothing listed in this section.

Per advice I revisited Wages and Salaries The "I don't have any W-2s box was not checked. I checked it and ran the review section. Got same request for Employer information. When I relooked at the Wages and Salaries section, the box I checked was now UNchecked. Is this my problem? How can this be fixed in TTax?

Please open the section as if you did have a W-2. It is possible that you have an empty posting listed as Untitled. Delete that entry and it should clear the problem.

Why are you telling us this? Are you having a problem entering her 1099-R? Or are you having an issue on a state return? If so, what state and what issue?
